LoMásTV Review – Watch TV in Spanish
LoMásTv is a video based web site dedicated to helping you learn or improve your Spanish. Basically, it’s like watching TV in Spanish but with the option to view English and/or Spanish captions, replay what you hear line by line, and SLOW the audio down without loosing the correct pitch. What’s great is that you have full control of these features throughout the video which means that you can choose to show the captions only when you don’t understand something and slow the audio just when it is necessary for you. Then once you get it, you can go back to regular speed and without captions.
This is pretty cool but it gets even cooler with the simple, but effective game built right in to every video. During the game the video will play line by line but a word will be missing from the transcript. You, of course, have to fill in the missing word. You even get half credit for getting the word almost correct, so give it your best shot. With each word that you get correct you earn points and your scores are recorded if you are a member of LoMásTv. But what I like most about this game is that after you finish going through the video once and you missed some, you get another shot at the words your missed in round 2! Talk about reinforcement!
LoMásTv Video Features:
- Ability to Slow the Video – Slowing the audio not only helps with comprehension but it’s great to help with correct pronunciation as well.
- Native Spanish Speakers – Hearing Spanish as it is pronounced in natural environments and by native speakers is one of the best ways to improve your vocabulary, listening, and even speaking skills!
- English & Spanish Transcripts – If you are a new Spanish learner, you’ll love being able to read along in Spanish as the speakers talk. You’ll really get a feel for the correct pronunciation of written text. However, if you are a more advanced Spanish learner, you have the option to turn off the transcripts and only turn them on when you need a little extra help.
- Integrated Spanish & English Dictionary – While you are watching the video with the transcripts up, all you have to do to get a definition of a word is click on it! The definition will appear in the screen to your right.
- Phrase Replay - Didn’t quite get it the first time? No, problem. Just click “replay” and the last complete caption will replay. You can listen to each segment as many times as you need.
- Listening & Spelling Game – Yep, that’s right. Not only do you have to know how to recognize the missing word that you hear, but you also have to be able to spell it in order to write it in the blank.
Ok, so we know that LoMásTv has an awesome video platform to help you learn Spanish, but it also has around 200 free Spanish lessons organized into four categories: grammar, vocabulary, life, and expressions. Getting free Spanish lessons is good, but what is great is that the lessons accompany the videos and you can get full access to the videos by subscribing to LoMásTv for only $9.95 per month or $99.95 per year! They also offer group rates where you can save a lot if you are a school or university. If you aren’t satisfied or if you just simply change your mind, LoMásTv offers a 7-day money-back guarantee.
I hope you’ll go over to LoMásTv and test drive their demo videos. Please, let me know what you think and if you are already a LoMásTv subscriber please share your experience.
